A Thai woman has been arrested for the alleged poisoning and killing of five people using cyanide. The arrest was made after the sudden and unexplained death of the alleged murderer’s most recent victim, Siriporn “Koy” Khanwong, a 32 year old Thai woman from the central province of Ratchaburi, on Saturday, April 1.

 

Koy was found dead at the Baan Pong Pier in Ratchaburi at 9am on Friday, April 14. Koy reportedly went to the pier to make merit by releasing fish into the river with her Thai friend, later identified as Sararat “Am” Rangsiwuthaporn.

 

The vendor who witnessed the incident reported that Koy went to the pier to release the fish alone and suddenly fainted. The rescue team came to the spot and provided her with CPR, but she did not respond to the operation. Koy was sent to the hospital and later pronounced dead from a heart attack.

 

The vendor revealed that she was curious why Koy’s Thai friend, Am, did not come to help her and disappeared from the scene.

 

The CCTV cameras at the place featured Koy and Am getting out of Am’s Toyota Vios sedan. The victim held a plastic bag of fish and went directly to the pier. However, the alleged murderer did not go with her. Instead, the Thai woman walked back and forth, as if she was waiting for someone.

 

Koy fainted at the pier, but the footage showed that Am did not go to her aid, instead, she drove off with the victim’s belongings and mobile phone.

 

Koy’s family was curious about her death as well and believed that the death was murder and that Koy’s friend, later identified as Sararat “Am” Rangsiwuthaporn, was involved.

 

Koy’s sister, Nipawan “Som” Khanwong, reported that she learned that her sister went to the pier with Am because Koy posted about it on Facebook. She contacted Am immediately to ask about Koy, but Am claimed she had not gone to the pier with Koy and was in another province.

where did she get it from? can't buy that in the market or on Lazada!

Thailand is awash with the stuff. You can eat cassava but if it's not cooked properly the cyanide in it can kill you.

Is cassava toxic? People should not eat cassava raw, because it contains naturally occurring forms of cyanide, which are toxic to ingest.

Cyanide can be found in nature in some foods and plants, such as lima beans, almonds, cassava, and apricot pits. These contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can release cyanide when broken down by enzymes23.

Cyanide is also used in manufacturing and industrial processes, such as making paper, textiles, plastics, and photographs. It is also used in mining, electroplating, metal cleaning, and removing gold from its ore. Cyanide can be used as a pest control agent, a medical treatment, or a food additive14.

Sad to see we had a serial killer on the loose, and then she murdered her own friend....may the deceased RIP.

Actually she killed 5, including her own boyfriend. She's either facing life sentence OR 15-20 year imprisonment. I certainly hope it's not going to be the latter. Released, she would certainly continue her killing spree, as she would have if she had not been caught.

Not necessarily.  Now that everyone knows she borrows money from people then kills them, they might be less likely to help her out financially.

The suspect, Ms. Sararat (surname withheld), or Am, was found in possession of a bottle of cyanide and this linked her to the death of Ms. Siriporn, 32, Pol. Gen. Damrongsak said.

Oh dear, CCTV might just prove that a lie.

I am sure you can get anything here, or online from China

Why get it from China when just walking in rural Thailand you can literally pick it up free.

Cassava, especially bitter cassava, contains cyanide and must be processed before consumption

Even soaking the product for a few hours will make a difference. Otherwise, unprocessed bitter cassava can kill if consumed in sufficient quantities.

A policeman's wife with access to cyanide - I bet all the "bar stool " Inspector Clouseau's will be pontificating!
